[AT] Splicing into a 12V circuit

[Stephen Offiler]

Mike:

The professionals don't solder.  They use crimp connectors, and VERY
important, they type that has heat-shrink jackets.  They make a solid
electrical connection when crimped properly, and they seal out the
environment permanently.  Look around the 'Net; they're all over the
place.  I am NOT a fan of those Scotchlok things that Spencer mentioned
(Sorry Spencer!)
